I came across an editorial today that was written by Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson on September 30, 2005. Peterson is very outspoken in his views against the civil rights movement and the NAACP. He's a black man who believes "the (NAACP)'s true intent appears to be to divide America by irritating resentments in the black community." He sharply criticizes the mayor of New Orleans (Ray Nagin) for his emergency-response plan to Katrina. Additionally, he points to local government as mishandling operations. Finally, he criticizes those who blamed "racism" as the reason why the disaster happened.
It's an interesting article, one that was a bit refreshing to read... especially considering that Jesse Jackson (a named perpetrator by Peterson) makes my skin crawl. If anyone is two-faced about racism, the man is a walking and talking billboard.
FYI: The editorial is confirmed by Snopes.com too.
